A personal endeavor of mine, just release this past Friday, June 6th (the 59 year anniversary of D Day). Band of Brothers fans will enjoy (hopefully):

Wow!! nice work. I did see the TV show but I really like to see maps because it helps put thinks into context. Nice job with the maps.

Thanks!
I built the site out, because I couldn't really find anything out there online that effectively illustrated the assault. What information that was available was primarily textual and from different sources; as a result there were discrepancies. I poured a good deal of time into researching the topic and did manage to pull some visuals here and there. It was a bit taxing at times but good researching everything.
Thanks again! _________________ - Tom Carter

Loved the movie.
One Crit, is that you should put some photos against the men who fought. Every time i think of Winters, i think of the actors instead of the REAL guys who fought.
Add some personality to the site would go a long way. |
